History of Ranjit Sinha, Director CBI In 1996, as a DIG in the CBI under the Joint Director (East), UN Biswas, he was accused of scuttling the investigation to help protect the accused, Lalu Prasad Yadav in the Fodder Scam case. UN Biswas was the chief investigator into the case, whose progress was being monitored by the Patna High Court, and was asked by the court to file a report on the case. The original harsh report by Biswas was swapped with a toned down one authored by Sinha by the then Director CBI, Joginder Singh and submitted to the court. When the court asked why the submitted report did not carry details of the original charges, Biswas admitted before the court that the report had been changed by the CBI Director and that the original report was more damaging. The court indicted the CBI and ordered that Sinha be removed from the case.

A few were allowed to begin with, but then the crowd started to swell by the day. Margiis from far flung areas, and soon from around the globe and neighboring states started to assemble on the jail campus. The local politicians got very envious and the jail authorities instructed to disallow the assembly of margiis there. Thus now margiis were being chased away to the busy road side.
